Although his condition has deteriorated due to his weight gain and frequent drinking, Robert remains a strong man Jaime Lannister believes that Robert is stronger than him. Despite the numerous weapons in the royal armory, the only blade Robert uses is a hunting knife he received as a boy from Jon Arryn, his foster father. He prefers melees, in which he can hit people with his hammer, over jousts. In battle, he wore a great antlered helmet, which made him look like a horned god. A peerless warrior in his youth, Robert fought with a spiked iron warhammer, crafted at Storm's End by Donal Noye, although he also carried a blade. The only exception are the Targaryens his hatred for them is a madness within him. As long as they are honest and brave, Robert can be merciful towards his defeated enemies, and he can inspire loyalty and friendship in those he spares. He loves the song of swords and considers poison to be a coward's weapon. Robert is as strong as a bull and fearless in battle.
According to Petyr Baelish, Robert is practiced at closing his eyes to things he would rather not see. Although several people consider Robert to be brave, Cersei believes him to be a coward. Cersei Lannister considers her husband to be an ignorant, dumb, slow-witted, drunken brute of a man, who does not have the ruthless streak she believes a king requires. Tyrion Lannister considers Robert to be a great blustering oaf, while Varys describes him as a fool. As king, Robert is no longer used to someone disagreeing with him, and he can be manipulated by others if advised not to do something. He is proud, and will not likely back down on words spoken in a drunken bravado. Well loved by soldiers, Robert is brave, but headstrong, rash, and impatient. Robert's beard, a wild, thick and fierce thing, hides his double chin. Now, he is often red-faced from drink, with dark circles underneath his eyes, and walks as if he is half in his cups, while sweating through his silks. In the nine years since, he gained at least eight stone. Due to excessive feasting and drinking, Robert gained a significant amount of weight. He was strong and powerful, and muscled "like a maiden's fantasy." In 289 AC, after putting down Greyjoy's Rebellion, Robert's appearance began to change. As a young adult, Robert was a handsome, clean-shaven man, with rough and hard hands. He is a very tall man Eddard Stark estimates his height to be six and a half feet. His heavy black hair is thick on his chest, and coarse around his sex.
Robert has the classic Baratheon look: black hair and bright blue eyes.
